Yeah! Saturday and Sunday morning breakfasts my dad used to make us growing up ... Thank you, Dad!! :-D He gave us our choice between bacon and scrapple. Scrapple... mmmmmm... That was strictly an East Coast thang.
Scrapple was tastyyyy.
Till I found out what was in it.
I must say, however, that Trader Joe's has uncured bacon with no nitrates, and yes, I likes me some o' dat. Occasionally.
(Happy now, Bob? ;D :-*)

If the love of bacon sends you to the Christian hell, perhaps if you have bacon in hell it will at least be hot enough fry some up right? 8)

My Mom used to make a stew or a soup that was kept in the cooler for us to dig into when we got home from school while she was still working. We liked it and we knew what was in it. To this day I like to know what I'm eating and I suppose that is why I eat mostly veggies. I even have veggies during TV. We cut up carrots, cauliflower, Broccoli, radishes, cucumbers etc and add a little sharp cheddar cheese and chomp away until our jaws are sore and there are very few calories so I am able to retire with a reasonably clear conscience. My mother was from Eastern Pa. and we had scrapple during World War 2. It came in loaves and we sliced it and fried in a pan with fresh eggs from our chickens. Like you I didn't eat it much once I found out what was in it.
I don't mind what people eat, but I do think that God wants us to be discerning about our food even though our salvation is not governed by what goes into our stomach. I also believe that God loves/loved his chosen people the Israelites and didn't restrict their food intake just to be mean.
It was sort of a test with a purpose. There is purpose to all of God's commands whether they be physical or spiritual so I give consideration to even the physical instructions and if I err I try to err on the conservative side.
I love sugar and especially in chocolate. It is a daily struggle to avoid the temptation, but I do work at it because I believe it is good for my health.
In like manner I limit my intake of meats particularly red meats because I think that I should. It is not a matter of salvation, but it's what I do for myself.
Just some thoughts from an old codger. Indiana Bob
